It took max 3.5 hours to cover a certain route walking at a rate of 2.4 mph. how long would it take max to cover the same route walking 3 mph?

It would take 2.8 hours ((3.5 hours x 2.4 Mph)/3Mph) hours for Max to cover the same route walking 3 mph. This problem can be solved by using the velocity equation which is the velocity is equal a change in position divided by a change of time. The amount of time can be found assuming that Max walks in a constant velocity from the starting point until the finish point of 8.4 miles distance (3.5 hours x 2.4 mph).

It says in the questions that it is 6.5?
